About The Presentation:
Green chemistry is an approach to pollution prevention that focuses on
innovation. The design or re-design of products and processes that are
benign and non-toxic is a daunting task; a task very much worth the
challenge. Recent developments in materials design have demonstrated that
environmentally benign synthetic alternatives are not only possible, but
economically advantageous. This presentation will discuss ideas around
innovative ways to design new green chemistry technologies. Examples that
demonstrate the benefits of interdisciplinary collaborations in pursuit of
sustainable materials will be presented.

About The Speakers:
John received his BS (1984) in Chemistry from UMASS Boston and his MS
(1986) and PhD (1988) in Organic Chemistry from Princeton University. He
worked at the Polaroid Corporation from 1988 – 1997 in exploratory
research and media research. In 1997 he accepted a position at the
University of Massachusetts (Chemistry, Boston Campus, 1997-2004 and
Plastics Engineering, Lowell Campus, 2004-2007). Warner is now the
President and Chief Technology Officer at the Warner Babcock Institute for
Green Chemistry, a research institution dedicated to creating green
chemistry technologies. Warner has published over 100 patents, papers
and books and is co-author of Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice. His
recent patents in the fields of semiconductor design, biodegradable plastics,
personal care products and polymeric photoresists are examples of how
green chemistry principles can be immediately incorporated into
commercially relevant applications. Warner is editor of Green Chemistry
Letters and Reviews and associate editor of the journal Organic
Preparations and Procedures International. Warner is also Professor of
Chemistry and co-director of the Green Chemistry Program at Cambridge
College and serves on the Board of Directors of the Green Chemistry
Institute in Washington DC. He received The 2004 Presidential Award for
Excellence in Science Mentoring from President Bush, and was awarded the
American Institute of Chemistry's Northeast Division's Distinguished
Chemist of the Year for 2002.
Amy holds the world’s first Ph.D. in green chemistry from the University of
Massachusetts. She received her undergraduate degree in chemistry from
Saint Anselm College. She has worked at the University of Massachusetts
Lowell as an Assistant Professor of green chemistry and is currently a
faculty member and the coordinator of the new green chemistry program at
Cambridge College. Amy has industrial experience working as an analytical
chemist for the Gillette Company and as a scientist for Rohm and Haas
Electronic Materials. She is currently the Executive Director of Beyond
Benign, a non-profit organization for green chemistry education and
outreach. Amy was awarded the Kenneth G. Hancock Memorial Award in
Green Chemistry in 2004 for her work on titanium dioxide semiconductors
and their application in dye-sensitized solar cells. Her interests are in green
chemistry education and research around safer green chemistry alternative
technologies ranging from electronics to cosmetics. Amy serves on the
Editorial board of the new journal Green Chemistry: Letters and Reviews.
